New Street (view 79) (Dobson's & Red Arrow : 6-8)
Dobson's 'radio' shop functioned here, at number 6, from 1959-69. The lads (teenagers maybe) at the entrance may have just purchased a record. The entrance to Oxley's Yard separated Dobson's and the Red Arrow radio rental shop. Barnsley had numerous similar shops at a time when many people rented rather than bought outright television sets.
